Performance-impacting brain state maladaptation driving disease progression in early mouse and human neuroinflammation

The paper identifies early brain state maladaptations in mouse and human neuroinflammation that contribute to disease progression independent of relapse activity.

TetrODrive: An open-source microdrive for combined electrophysiology and optophysiology

TetrODrive is a low-cost, 3D-printable microdrive for electrophysiology and optophysiology in mice, enabling stable recordings and optotagging with high signal-to-noise ratio.

Remembering the gist of an event over a lifetime depends on the hippocampus

This study shows that CA1 is necessary for gist memory retrieval regardless of memory age, while CA3 is required for memory precision in a time-dependent manner.

Optogenetic stimulation of the VTA modulates a frequency-specific gain of thalamocortical inputs in infragranular layers of the auditory cortex

This study shows that optogenetic stimulation of the VTA enhances thalamic inputs to infragranular layers of the auditory cortex, leading to frequency-specific gain amplification and prolonged sensory processing effects.
